JRE MMA Show #183 with Rico Verhoeven · Aired Aug 4, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Ian Garry suffered a knee injury from an oblique kick during his fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov.
The finding
What the evidence shows
This has it backwards. It was Shavkat Rakhmonov, not Ian Garry, who came out of that fight hurt. Rakhmonov carried a knee problem into the bout that got worse over the five rounds and eventually needed surgery, and Garry was the one landing kicks to the leg, not the one injured by them.
